Victorian Ladies Theme Round Robin BLocks

After a long time, I'm participating in a Round Robin once again, it is my favorite theme "Victorian Ladies"with the Crazy Quilting International Yahoo group. There are old stitching friends in the group, I'm so happy to be together those charming ladies.This is a different RR than our classic RRs. It is called, "Do Your Own Block" or just DYB. Each of the six participants prepare 6 crazy quilt blocks and sends them out in the rotation. When you get someone’s set of blocks, you chose one (the blocks are 6x6") to embellish. My blocks are ready to start their long journey. I can imagine the outcome of my “naked blocks” from now on:))I added silk prints of Victorian Ladies on to each block. The focus point of the blocks are those silk prints....I was keeping those lovely silk prints for a long time, I wanted to use theme with this opportunity. At the beginning I planned to make whole blocks almost same tones, but afterwords I changed my mind, I made blocks according to silk prints' color scheme. I hope my stitcher friends will like my color tones and may work easily. I would like to have these blocks framed at my Studio's wall. I'm sure that they will look so pretty.I'm going to send my blocks to Lisa tomorrow, than I'll wait Hideko's blocks. I'll really excited, looking forward to play with blocks again.Best wishes from Istanbul ....
